Hydra's BuddyCube

2010-06-20T20:56:00.002+02:00

Hydra's BC shows an eye at the front side, and a camera at the back side. The camera reflects the fact that Hydra is an enthusiastic photographer, some of his work can be seen in the Cube Portal. Not sure about the eye although... (Ekki)

Together with DJ Paulus, the maintainer of the Community Section PhotoCubing, we decided to award 1 to 3 Q's on PhotoCubing contributions! This is done even backdated for exiting contributions. Each admitted contribution gets at least 1 Q. (EB)

StoryCubing #10 - Cube at the Rennsteig

2010-02-08T21:25:00.002+01:00

It seems it even was way too cold for the camera... those pix are without colors! At least the Cube kept its color. Have fun seeing this retro-style pictures from the Thuringian Forest. (EB)

Finally, Folks, we proudly present the 39 Q's Award Cube! The Cube is kindly co-sponsored by hotvisions. Needless to say thay I really love that one - as it's black and white, dark and looking dangerous. Not sure if I will ever reach 39 Q's but I'll try... (EB)

Voting Reloaded

2009-09-28T21:18:00.003+02:00

For a long time Voting in the Cube context was way too cumbersome, not even the chance to win something in the PromoCubing did motivate a lot for voting... Now we proudly present a new technology for the Votings! Check it out! I guess you'll love it! Make sure that ci-cube.biz or CubeVoting.AppSpot.com are enabled for popups. To vote again, maybe because of a blocked popup, just reload the page. (Ekki)

Paaarty Time!

2009-09-22T21:26:00.004+02:00

Some people came together for a small yet int'l Cube Party at Sep. 19. Too bad for those who missed the event for whatever reason, as it was a great pleasure. May be see ya next time. For the time being have a look into the PartyCubing album...

RobertHogan, the first person on Earth who reached 13 Q's, today jumped to the next level! Congratulations!

He's famous for a lot of very nice pictures, both real photos and montages. One of them you see at the right side - the famous green-eyed cat.

QBot's Lesson on Perspective

2009-08-16T14:57:00.011+02:00

QBot has his own Blog but he wants to share his wisdom with us: 'Closer objects look bigger than distant ones'... Yessir! No, wait a minute, I mean Yes that's true but those Racks differ in size!!

Actually, Folks, we proudly provide a 3x3 and even a 2x2 version of the Kickelhahn Rack! So the 4x4 is probably for the hard-core collectors, the 3x3 is nice for beginners and intermediates and the 2x2... hmmm, I don't know... but it's so sweeet... maybe for you well-beloved Cubes?!

What you say, the 4x4 is still too small?! We currently think about an asymmetric 5x5 and a 6x6 version! So stay tuned...

26 Q's for Rainman

2009-08-04T21:28:00.002+02:00

The subject says it all... Congratulations, Rainman!
Rainman is the co-moderator of the TrabiCubing Community Section and--you may guess it-a car maniac, especially East-German ones. In the context of his forum Pappenforum.de he released already three Cube editions...

Once again, Congratz!

Too Many Cubes? Here's the Solution

2009-07-26T18:07:00.002+02:00

I've been told that some of you already own 5, 6 or even more Cubes and are a little bit helpless how to manage them... Here's a pretty nice and cool solution to that issue! Check out the Cube Rack Kickelhahn that is now available in the Cube Shop for a fair price. It can take 16 Cubes, I hope this is sufficient for the moment?!? You can even customize your own rack by choosing one of ten colors, and one of four base plates. Additionally a couple of spacers may be choosen.

Actually she skipped the 26 Q level with a huge jump as she received 5 Q's for releasing her own BuddyCube edition, which BTW is a nice one!

Congratulations, Janina! You are the 3rd person on this planet who made it onto the second stage! Where/when is the party?!

Wanna see all pix ever made with a certain Cube (Edition) by just one mouse click? This is now easy possible by a new feature of the CubeMap. Just check it out. Hope you like it the same way as I do!
Note, not all pix on PhotoBucket have been tagged until now. This is work in progress...

The Swap Market is Open!

2009-07-06T21:03:00.001+02:00

Have a look at this initial implementation of a Cube Swap Market. It's made in an easy way but does the job for now. Currently, 1:1 Cube swaps are supported. If time goes on, maybe, we'll add some JavaScript gimmicks. For the time being use it as is, hope you like it.

L8er,

Welcome!

2009-07-05T06:31:00.002+02:00

Welcome to the CI-CUBE Community Blog! I did re-organize the things a little bit. So the former Blog on myspace is now replaced by this one.

This Blog does focus on general Community issues, while the RSS Feed on CI-CUBE.biz is dedicated to more or less detailed things like Votings, Contests and so on in the context of PictoCubing, GeoCubing, etc.

So once again, Welcome, Folks! Have Fun with the Cubic Project!
